My whole life was on that hard drive.

Recently, the hard drive that I stored all the Are You Serious? Podcast data and archives on suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure. The estimate from the data recovery lab to fix the drive and restore the data is an even $2000. That's $2000 that we unfortunately don't have, but need to quickly find.

To make matters worse, that hard drive also stored every single picture of my daughters, my wedding, live performances... everything. Memories that I can't get back until I pay for them. Yes, I know how irresponsible it was to not have backups of the data - that is something that will be rectified if/when I can get the drive repaired.

If you know me, even a little bit, you know how much it tears me up to lose those home movies and photos. We also lost every design program we have and all the projects we did, as well as all of our music in iTunes (also used in the show.)

If you can help, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
